Fallout New Vegas Technical Issues – Fixing Mouse Acceleration in Fallout TTW

fallout-new-vegasmousetechnical-issues

Following the instructions here, I've changed my Fallout_default.ini accordingly:

[Controls]
bAlwaysRunByDefault=1
bBackground Mouse=0
bBackground Keyboard=1
fForegroundMouseAccelBase=0
fForegroundMouseAccelTop=0
fForegroundMouseBase=0
fForegroundMouseMult=0 

However, mouse acceleration is still very obviously in effect.

I've tried the following:

  • replicated these changes in \Documents\my games\FalloutNV\Fallout.ini
  • removed \Documents\my games\FalloutNV\Fallout.ini (it was not automatically regenerated)

What is the problem?

The reason why my ini edits were not taking effect is because Mod Organizer makes a copy of the original ini files, then uses the copy when launching the game. This is in line with the philosophy of Mod Organizer, that is to not make any destructive changes or to contaminate the original game files.

Here is the button to edit Mod Organizer's copy of the ini file: enter image description here

After pasting the same lines here, the new mouse acceleration settings were in effect. There was nothing wrong with Mod Organizer, my fault for not knowing how to use it properly
